Betties v. GnR Semi-final open thread

Disjointed thoughts (if one may be so bold as to call them that) on this coming Saturday's game:

It's hard to forget BNB 134 - GnR 73 when thinking about this match.

For some reason, despite formidable talent on their roster, GnR has had a hard time putting anything together since their February win over the High Rollers.

One expects a very physical game from these very physical teams (Grant over at the Guns blog reports that GnR practices have been physical to the point of injury).

We'll see you all Saturday, and we'll see you in the comments.




Update: elevated from Scrappy in the comments (thanks, Scrappy!):

"well to clarify... i don't think GNR are not self-abusing and beating the crap out of each other at practices... both Knox and Cherry were injured while scrimmaging with AOA against WOJ (who also that night managed to leave Viagra with a blood, bruised jaw and Sully with a minor concussion). it was a very frustrating night for everyone on AOA since those GNR ladies were nice enough to join us for the scrimmage, as extra practice, and were injured as a result."

Thanks, Scrappy. I've added your comment to the top-line post.

Despite the injury reports, I still think the GnR has what it takes to bust up the Betties.

GnR has some great veteran blockers and jammers BUT it will boil down to taking control. If the GnR attempts to play the Betties' game, they will no doubt be pwned again.

I checked out the bout pix link posted on the GnR blog as a slideshow. It's easy to spot how the Betties were driving the pack. I would remind the GnR that you ain't gotta hit a Bettie to move her, she will follow you because she want to hit...let their bad habits be your strength.

Yikes! That GnR injury report was even worse than I had realized! I knew Itzo and Mullet were done for the season, but no GMT or Hard Knox?

Anyone know if the Betties have any skaters out of commission? If not, GnR is gonna have a rough go of it to say the least!
